You might take a look at the Axis Bluetooth stack.  They talk to the
serial port driver from within kernel code.  They do it properly, so you
can have the Bluetooth driver talk to any serial port device (like pci
cards) or a usb to serial port device, or the USB Bluetooth driver,
which looks like a serial port to userspace.

It's available at:

Hope this helps,
